Troubleshooting
Dress arrived wrinkled
Gently steam the dress on a cool setting or carefully iron on the reverse side on a low heat. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before wearing.

Ensure you used a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals. You can try a very gentle fabric conditioner, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
